monica and roman krawczyk
co-Presidents
Monica and Roman Krawczyk believed it was destiny almost 24 years ago when their paths crossed with Splashes of Hope’s Founder, Heather Buggee. They watched Heather on the local news describing the mission that is Splashes of Hope. As a result, Monica and Roman invited Heather into their company's facility to give space for the organization to run its operations. The Krawczyks absolutely fell in love with Splashes of Hope’s mission. With Heather’s undeniable talent of creating transformative murals for healthcare centers, they have seen the compassion to ease the pain of those who need it the most, one of the main focuses being the ailing of children through artwork.
Throughout the years, the Krawczyks have continuously volunteered, dedicated resources, and assisted Splashes of Hope in many capacities to fulfill Heather's dream, as well as to drive the organization’s mission forward. Since then, Splashes of Hope has always been a significant part of their family life. They are happy and fortunate to have encouraged their parents, children, and many friends to become involved with the organization. In the summer of 2020, the Krawczyks were elected Co-Presidents by the Board of Directors to lead the Splashes of Hope into the future.
